very kewl i liked it alot however..... drop the window popups somehow. They ruin the nice feel of the sight with those big ugly blue windows frame.
Um, is your cow supposed to be part of the grass? Just thought I'd ask. Site's kewl though :-)

yes its the effect I wanted.
i like the site very simple and easy to use looks interesting.
one thing i dont like the repeditive bleeting of the sound. i think we could all agree a repetitive sound is annoying to the ears. play a short track or nothing at all. id still be happy with the site without sound.
allbe it i think the sound that plays at the moemnt fits the site well. just gives me a headache after a few minutes.
i like all those anime in the popups too. nice work.
i like the site a lot... but i hate the font... heheh sorry just my personal opinion...
pop ups are ****.
the font you use is ****.
animations are choppy.
"free range new media and design solutions" ... crap.

your comments ****
Pops ups are **** - why?
The font use is **** - I'll look into it.
Animations are choppy - WTF? go on, admit it, you want to sound like you know what your talking about don’t you.... bless. ‘choppy’ I think you need to look up the word mate.
"free range new media and design solution .... crap”. - do you care to elaborate.
I checked out your personal site
http://www.geocities.com/fathersdaydon/ - And going by that, I wont be listening to your criticism. Stick to the back-end and stop talking out of it dude.
I asked for constructive criticism. If there is any part of my site you take a dislike to please explain why in more detail like everyone else kindly has. Four stars don’t tell me much. ' I'm sure lots of people think Rock music is '****', Football is '****' or Shrek 2 was '****' but unless you tell people why you dislike something you wont respect your opinion.
I had to reload it a few times to be sure....
does that man take a dump to get that tree to grow??
(ps. nice site)
lol its ment to be a seed mate.Quote:

I like it alot....
I have a pop up clocker on, so none of the content would come up....
that is why pop ups are uswually bad...if I want on this board and looking for stuff, I would have left a long time ago, and not trouble shot the site.
I realize that the cows eye flickers to look like its blinking (i think) But it should be slowed down a bit....it just looks like it flickers, like there is an empty frame at the of the time line
All in all a good site...I too do not like the fonts a whole lot.
I think the animations are fine.
I see you quickly removed the link to your site. Good move. lmaoQuote:

You should really take a dose in growing up. Right now you have the mentality of a jealous 2 year old. :rolleyes: You should change your name to iwhinealot....
About the site. I agree with NRD about the blinking. It looks like the eyball disapears for a second.
When i first saw the site, I thought the menu would would slide over to reveal the content, not pop-ups. Maybe try incorporating that into the site some how? I have a source file of the sliding menu somehwere on my PC. If you want it, just shot me a PM. :)
Definitely not digging the popups. I think it would be best to integrate them into the flash file and make them new windows inside of the flash.... Otherwise, not bad at all.

LP
I really like the concept of having pop ups. but you guys have a point I might look at ditching them. Just for the record... does anyone actually like them? im not talking about the design, i mean the concept of having pop ups.
Ill have to change the text, I dont suppose anyone had one they could recommend to me?
I'll sort the eye ball and the sliding menu sounds good, just gotta keep this file size down.
Thanks for all your help chaps.
here is an idea when a section is clicked, lower the alpha of the cow grass, tree, etc. to something like 10 then externally load the the popup flash files int a new layer. just can't stand popups.
agreement about the pop-up windows...bad interface design.
perhaps the eyeball on the cow could be made...less glaring? The site is rather mellow, and that eyeball looks somewhat ghoulish.
nicely done otherwise. Maybe the nav font could be a little less blurry too.
my 2cnts
I've found that using actual JavaScript pop-ups can lose potential clients from the growing pop-up-blocker-population. I just use regular browser windows for my PHP stuff (guestbook, chat, contact) because I'm too lazy to Fla****ize them, and Flash and XML for easily editable content.
Ok my beautiful pop up system is being scraped.....
I'll let you all know when its changed
Thanks for all your help guys.

p.s if anyone wants to sort me out with a couple of cheaky flash fonts that would suit the site I'll love them forever and ever.
Thanks again.
ok guys very buggy i know but i just wanted to show you before i go out. Ill fix it later.

Is that better????#
much better.......
(not a fan of custom mouse pointers, though :D )
im liking the animations, dont like the sound and dont like the animated cursor,
on the hole, good job mate
j
The cow is pretty cool.
I would say loose the custom cursor, try it on a few differnet machines and you'll find the lag frustrating.
I can't read the text at the bottom.
I think you should consider different fonts, especially 'free range...' - I quite like 'digital farm' as it is.
I think you should keep the cow displayed throughout, and make his/her/its patches customisable.

Thanks again guys.
I respect what you are saying about the customised mouse. but I was trying to make it look like a fly that the farm animals are looking at. if it was just a mouse pointer then it doesnt really flow with the concept I am trying to create dont you think?.
are you sure it should go because im really not sure... if all you guys think so then I'll change it but otherwise, personally i think it kinda works.
as for the changing of the changing of the "free range...." text below the Digital Farm.... does everyone agree that should change to a different text to?
Thanks so much for all your help people. What you have advised so far has really helped and I want to really thank you all.
never really liked custom cursors myself, but it seems to go with the site. looks good.
First of all, the URL you posted does not link to my personal site. I honestly have no idea who made that site or why you thought it was mine... really. In any case, the **** that you see was automatically inserted in place of the "obscene" words I used to describe your site.Quote:

1.Pop ups are **** -- pop ups are intrusive and annoying. Furthermore, the pop ups you use are so small and uninformative. Why use them at all...
2.The font use is **** -- yes... you are using a cheap pixel font probably set at the wrong font size.
3.Animations are choppy -- meaning they are rough... the elements of your animation abruptly shift position and are not very fluid... I think you will find my use of the word "choppy" in this sense, commonplace and legitimate.
4.free range new media and design solution -- I just think the use of "free range" is ridiculous.
I think your site sucks... and Im being honest. Oh well.
individuality in the about us section has two iii's
the site is good, perhaps though, you have over used the flash fonts in this one...just like i like to. it make a site a little too digital, putting it out of touch with the wider world..
great illustrations...!

I would be very interested to see some of your work, you clearly know much more about me than branding, animation and concept design, your stuff must be amazing.
No elements of my animation 'abruptly shift' you are talking out of your ass.
You are clearly not grasping the concept of the site or else you wouldnt find 'free range" ridiculous.
As far as i am convinced, quite simply you are wrong. Don't worry mate, it happens.
Hi,
I like the idea of the custom mouse cursor, but I would expect it to turn back into a pointer when highlighting menu items or UI components e.g close button etc.
I think the popups are unnecessary as you have so much space in the main window. If you click a section, simply fade/remove the cow and use the space you have.
One solution would be to drag the section out with the title finishing on the far left and the content resting between that and the other menus. Does that make sense?
I agree about the fonts. They look oversized and therefore quite blurry. A simple adjustment though.
Have a look at your composition, as IMHO having that tree slap bang in the center is really hard on the eyes.
Overall I like the concept and the illustrations.
:)
Hey!
Your cow scared me to death with it's huge weird eye.
I aint a fan of custom mouse pointers either...
Kinda freaky.
I think that was the personal site...cause all I did was hit the www in your profile and that site came up......just me guessing.Quote:

and free range is GREAT.....that has to do with cows out to pasture.......Leave it...its great.
K guys changed the font.... and a few other small things, is this better
www.digital-farm.co.uk
IMO, the custom mouse pointer is a bit annoying. It may just be a personal thing but I prefer to use my own mouse...
Also, when you have the "Our Services" window up, and you click the "Our Services" again, it launches one of the old popups.
Its lookin good.

LP
not a huge fan of custom pointers either, but fantastic page. VERY original, i like the detail, but it still is plain... not too complicated. ive been on a simplifying kick lately... my site is WAY too crowded!!!! SIMPLIFY!!! love it. cheers
